Adventures in RSI: Tracing the regular and substantive interaction in online courses
Thursday December 5, 2024 9:10am - 9:30am PST
Steinbeck Ballroom
Many schools are facing the increased scrutiny to ensure compliance with regular and substantive interaction in distance education courses. As a result, many colleges are seeking ways to communicate these requirements to instructors, and to assess their status of RSI compliance in DE courses. The "substantive" part of regular and substantive interaction requires that any evaluation of RSI be qualitative as well as quantitative.

In this session, I will discuss Mt. SAC's efforts to create a systematic program for tracking RSI in distance education courses including the components, technology, and review process of the program. Mt. SAC is working on this following a 2024 accreditation review. As an instructional designer, I have been a part of the workgroup and contributed ideas for how to make the process efficient for professors, reviewers, and administrators. I would like to share our efforts, what worked and what didn't in creating an institutional RSI review process.

At the end of this session, participants will:
  1. Hear about the requirements for regular substantive interaction and the ideas Mt. SAC generated to track them in online courses.
  2. Learn about how Mt. SAC created a team of RSI reviewers and their roles. 
  3. Learn how Mt. SAC leveraged technology to track and evaluate RSI in DE courses.
